Prehistoric Space Spores

Who isn't fascinated with cave paintings? The earliest evidence of human artistic expression! What could be more exciting!?

Well I thought it would be fun to imagine finding a cave with little prehistoric space spores drawn all over it!


I spritzed some bright pink fabric with walnut ink, water and fabric paint, then with a combination of free motion machine stitching, (the dark brown stitching) and hand embroidery, I created my little cave spores.


I was just having fun, but I like how they turned out and I think I will be exploring these more at a later date.

    Prehistoric Space Spores...
    Nope! I wouldn't ever have thought of that. But I'm not surprised one bit that you'd come up with something so imaginative.

    Have you seen the PBS special where the scientists/archeologists/whatever are trying to figure out how the hand (outline) paintings were done? They determined that the ink/paint was spit out of mouths around a hand placed on the cave wall. So start practicing your spitting!
